ANS5092S Serer out of data storage space

Now I get "ANS5092S Serer out of data storage space" every time I take backup. I noticed that when I try to take backup of a empty file, backup is successful but for a file of even 5 M shows ANS5092S.

Please help!
Thanks in advance

Add space to your disk pool, storage name CLASSA. This seems to be your primary pool.

[Jeroen]

check what your primary pool is by looking at the copygroup settings

guys

my objective is to take backup of a small local file/folder and save it on a local file (not on external tapes). So I defined devclass FILE is it correct?

or I need to define devclass DISK?

[moon-buddy]

I don't follow completely your logic but if you are saying that the end storage will be a DEVCLASS=FILE AND you backup to disk FIRST, all you have to do is migrate FROM disk to the next pool which you have defined as devclass=file.

This is assuming that the DISK is your FIRST backup device.

Thanks moon buddy,

I sorted out that migration from disk to file device.

Moving forward ,just out of curiousity what are the file systems that are supported in TSM 6.2.x. I am sure of ext3 and ext2, where I can see the complete list. And if there is any other way of configuring any other filesystem?

The FILESYSTEM that TSM can write to must be supported by the OS that the TSM Server is installed on.

Therefore, you have to look at the compatibility listing for supported OS. If Linux, as an example, is supported to run TSM Server and Linux supports EXT2, EXT3, Reiser 3 or 4, then TSM server can write to these filesystems with DEVCLASS=FILE.

Thanks again! I just found this link http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...ns50000109.htm that gives detail about filesystems supported
